tcl2py

opstool.pre.tcl2py(input_file, output_file, prefix='ops', encoding='utf-8', keep_comments=False)[source]

Convert OpenSees Tcl code to OpenSeesPy Python format.

Note

  • This function supports Tcl syntax and will flatten your Tcl code, including loops, judgments, assignments, proc, etc.,

  • Do not use assignment statements for OpenSees commands, such as set ok [analyze 1], set lambdaN [eigen 10], it will trigger an error! This is because this function does not run the OpenSees command at all.

  • If an encoding error is reported, please check the file and delete any special characters that exist, such as some Chinese characters that cannot be encoded.
